Location: Topeka, Kansas | Thanks Guys-
Noah in answer to your questions, it is the natural finish, about one year old and no I don't have any pictures, but I can certainly remedy that. I will post them as soon as I can get a digital camera... I also have the case for it as well. |

Location: SoCal | Natural is fine.
About one year old is great which means it has the battery box.
Guitar Case... I am running out of storage space for cases. All our guitars are "free range", it's easier to control the temp/humidity in one room, than tend to case humidifiers.
Pictures would be good.
You came to the Board asking "what it might be worth"... so let's see what the general populous has to say.
Once you get the information you came for, I would like to be the 1st in line at the sale. |

Location: Denton, Texas | For reference, I just bought an EA68-4(Natural) from Musician's Friend(since someone jumped on this one before I saw it)advertised at what I felt was a reasonable price for a new instrument, $1499 including case and "Free" shipping. If you place a vallue of $120 on the case and about $30 shipping the (new) guitar alone comes out to $1349. Make your best judgement to come to a reasonable figure for a one year old guitar in Mint condition w/case, I'm thinking a round number just below $1249...but that's just me. :) |

Great pictures :eek:
The serial# says it was born in 2000 :confused:
No battery door... the battery is under the cavity cover?
I got your email. I also caught a heck of a cold :( I need a day to catch up. |

Still looking for some more feedback on the value of a used Ovation EA68. If anyone has some insight I would love to hear their opinion.
Thanks,

I would think a mint 2000 Viper w/OHSC would be somewhere in the $850 to $1000 range. |
